Research in Kansas from 1983 to 1986 evaluated early preplant (30 to 45 days) and late preplant (10 to 14 days) herbicide treatments for weed control before ridge-till planting in a soybean and sorghum rotation. Control of fall panicum and common lambsquarters at planting time averaged at least 95% for all early preplant and 92% for late preplant treatments. Where no preplant treatment was used, heavy weed growth in spring delayed soil dry-down, which resulted in poor ridge-till planting conditions and reduced plant stands, and ultimately reduced sorghum grain yields by 24% and soybean yields by 12%. Horsenettle population declined significantly, and honeyvine milkweed population increased. Smooth groundcherry populations fluctuated from year to year with no overall change.

Sorghum Grain

Grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench ‘RS 671’) was grown during 1969 and 1970 in competition with two other members of the same species, wild cane and Kansas Orange forage sorghum, transplanted at various densities along grain sorghum rows. All densities of wild cane and Kansas Orange significantly reduced both grain and fodder yields of grain sorghum. Grain yield was highly and positively correlated with leaf area, culm length, culms per plant, panicles per culm, seeds per panicle, and amount of light received at the grain sorghum canopy; and grain yield was negatively correlated with plant factors that benefited wild cane and Kansas Orange. Grain yield did not correlate with either plants per hectare or seed weight. Panicle size was most important in determining grain yield. Kansas Orange reduced grain yields more than did wild cane in 1969. During 1970, with less favorable rainfall, grain sorghum responded similarly to both transplanted weed types.

R-25788 (N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide) and H-31866 [N-allyl-N-(3,3-dichloroallyl)dichloroacetamide] were more effective than CDAA (N,N-diallyl-2-chloroacetamide) in preventing yield reductions to corn (Zea maysL. ‘NB-611’) from alachlor [2-chloro-2′,6′-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide] or metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide] in the greenhouse. A CGA-43089 [α-(cyanomethoximino)-benzacetonitrile] seed treatment (1.25 g/kg) was more effective than a R-25788 tank mix in preventing yield reductions to grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench ‘G-623 GBR’] from alachlor or metolachlor in the greenhouse. Absorption of14C-alachlor by sorghum seedlings grown in petri dishes, and absorption, translocation, and metabolism of14C-metolachlor by sorghum seedlings grown in soil, were not affected by CGA-43089 seed treatment. Forage sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench ‘Rox Orange’] was used to simulate shatter cane [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench] in field plots. In the absence of Rox Orange, alachlor and metolachlor reduced sorghum grain yields. This yield reduction was prevented by a CGA-43089 seed treatment, but not by a R-25788 tank mix with herbicides. In plots seeded with 10,000 Rox Orange seed/57 m2, grain yields of sorghum increased as alachlor or metolachlor plus CGA-43089 rates increased. There was no grain yield response to any herbicide treatment in plots seeded with 50,000 Rox Orange seed/57 m2.

Abstract The objective of this study was reveal heat related processing (HP) induced changes in protein molecular structure in relation to nutrient utilization and availability of warm-season sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor) in dairy cows. Three new warm-season genotypes of sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor) were studied. The nutrient utilization and availability of sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor) in dairy cows include: protein subfractions, energy values, rumen degradation, and intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded protein. The protein structure change on molecular level were revealed with cutting edge non-invasive vibrational ATR-FTIR molecular spectroscopy. The warm-season sorghum grains were either maintained in their raw state (as control) or treated with for 80 min at 121°C with the Lindberg/Blue M™. The RCBD data were analyzed using SAS9.4 with Mixed model procedure. Tukey method was used for mean separation. The results showed that compared with the control, the HP treatment altered (P < 0.05) nutrient profiles and utilization and availability in dairy cows and increased (P < 0.05) metabolizable energy and net energy values in dairy cows. The HP treatment also altered (P < 0.05) the protein molecular structure profile of the warm-season sorghum grain. It increased (P < 0.05) the ratio of protein Amide I and Amide II height and decreased (P < 0.05) the ratio of α-helix to β-sheet. In conclusion, the HP treatment altered molecular structure and nutrient profiles without negatively affecting the nutritive value and digestion of warm-season sorghum grain. The molecular spectral profiles revealed by rapid and non-invasive ATR-FTIR molecular spectroscopy could be used as a fast predictor for the warm-season sorghum grain utilization and digestion in dairy cows.

This study investigated the effects of sorghum ensiled as whole grains with different dry matter concentrations on the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy, crude nutrients and minerals in growing pigs. Whole grain sorghum batches with varying dry matter (DM) concentrations of 701 (S1), 738 (S2) and 809 g kg−1 (S3) due to different dates of harvest from the same arable plot, were stored in air-tight kegs (6 L) for 6 months to ensure complete fermentation. Subsequently, 9 crossbred barrows (34.6 ± 1.8 kg; (Duroc x Landrace) × Piétrain)) were used in a 3 × 3 Latin square feeding experiment. Diets were based on the respective sorghum grain silage and were supplemented with additional amino acids, minerals and vitamins to meet or exceed published feeding recommendations for growing pigs. The ATTD of gross energy, dry matter, organic matter, nitrogen-free extracts, and crude ash were higher in S1 compared to S3 treatments (p ≤ 0.05), while S2 was intermediate. Pigs fed S1 showed significantly higher ATTD of phosphorus (P) compared to all other groups while ATTD of calcium was unaffected irrespective of the feeding regime. In conclusion, growing pigs used whole grain sorghum fermented with a DM concentration of 701 g kg−1 (S1) most efficiently. In particular, the addition of inorganic P could have been reduced by 0.39 g kg−1 DM when using this silage compared to the variant with the highest DM value (809 g kg−1).
